Sally Hansen Natural Butter Lip Shine

     I found these little guys in my local dollar tree. I have the shades Petal 6637-60 and Lush 6637-30. I don’t remember these from the drugstore, so I’m not quite sure how old these are  but the package says 2007. I was attracted to these because of the cute leaf top packaging, the nude shades, and the promise of moisture.

     These are not moisturizing. They seem to accentuate my dry lips and provide not an ounce of lasting moisture. My lips actually seem to be drier after the gloss has worn off. They also have a god awful smell and taste.

     It's hard for me to rate these because i think they're absolutely awful, haha. but then again they're only a dollar!!

Left-Pink Gleam Right-Glistening Pink

     This is my first go at Maybelline Lipsticks and glosses. I do like the colors and finishes I've selected; very springy and feminine. The consistency is in fact creamy and feels moisturizing even though I doubt it actually is. But these are absolutely frosty and metallic, I don't mind too much though. My only complaints are the lasting power and the 'clinging'. As you can tell from the pictures below, my lips are quite dry despite my constant application of chap stick; these 'frosty/metallic' finishes don't do justice for my poor lips. I originally was most excited about pink beam but ended up getting a few things from the collection and I've become quite attached to glistening pink. I really can't say too much about them though, I've only had them for a short time. But anyhow, on to the swatches. :)

     Oh yeah, the lipsticks smell like vanilla with a hint of lipstick(haha). The gloss on the other hand has a really nice citrusy smell. If you're sensitive to smells i don't think these will bother you too much; I find the smell fades after a bit. Also the gloss has a standard ,but rather small, doe-foot applicator. It gives you just enough to coat the lips with a thin layer of gloss. The stopper on my gloss is good as well, no mess.

Maybelline limited edition spring 2011 nail polish in 645 Pink Glimpse

     Over the past weekend i picked up a few of the new limited edition maybelline spring 2011 products.I only picked up 1 nail polish though (which is hard for me because i loooove nail polish). the one I picked up was 645 Pink Glimpse.

     This is the first I've ever tried a maybelline nail polish, and I admit I do like it. It's nothing super fancy but not goopy, runny or messy either. The brush in my bottle was fine and the formula is what I expected; nothing to complain about. It's a lovely spring shade and I'm glad I purchased it.

     I can't confirm this but I have heard that this is the most opaque of all the limited edition spring shades. It is absolutely a sheer polish and it took 3 coats to achieve the above opacity. I also have to admit this color is not all too unique yet it is still very season appropriate.
